Introduction

We will reserve some time for people to get together and discuss
strategic decisions as well as other topics that are best solved within
smaller groups. This time can also be used for hands-on hacking
sessions.

If you are interested in organizing such a group time event, please add
it to the list *before* KVM Forum, so people have time to organize which
one they will attend.

All of these sessions will get the chance to quickly talk about results
they managed to achieve during their time in a quick "results" session.

BoF Ideas

OVMF

Open Virtual Machine Firmware

Summary: OVMF (Open Virtual Machine Firmware) is a project to enable
UEFI support for Virtual Machines. This BoF should allow users and
developers of virtualization and/or UEFI software to discuss how OVMF fits
in the "intersection" of virt and UEFI, what it is good for, how it can be
used, how people can contribute, and how OVMF works, internally and in
combination with the other layers of the virt stack.

The Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) is a specification that
defines a software interface between an operating system and platform
firmware. UEFI is designed to replace the Basic Input/Output System (BIOS)
firmware interface.

In this BoF all areas and topics related to the overlap of virt and UEFI are
welcome (regardless of their "technical depth"), except politics and/or
historical controversy around UEFI Secure Boot. (Discussing Secure Boot per
se is fine.)
